FoL Newsletter Excerpts by Margaret Lawson (1974-1989)

1983

"I well remember how shocked I was when first I "saw the light" that
the Church did not hold it up as an ideal to which to aspire. I felt
that I would have been a vegetarian from my youth had it done so, and I
know of others who feel the same.I was even more shocked at the way
Christmas is celebrated by the slaughter of millions of turkeys and
other creatures."

"And Christmas is upon us again with its heathen festival. Need I say
more? I can only pray for more hearts to be touched with the tenderness
and mercy of Christ at this special time. As the late Professor William
Barclay said, "The world would be a more gracious place if those who
claim to worship God had something more of the wideness of the mercy of
God."
